Trainer to Trainee, in the hallway during lunch break:
(in tone of amazement) "Wow... You know, you are so much taller when you stand up than when you are sitting down."

I just realized how much I miss Wormie's old job. Maybe we can talk her into going back.

Grey-haired MAN. With a DOCTORATE. Don't know what his original hair color was.

Some people have short torsos and really long legs. They really do look like totally different people when they stand up because they appear to be close to average height when seated. I remember literally walking into someone's belt buckle once coming out of my dorm room. That means the belt buckle was very nearly 5 feet off the floor. No, he wasn't wearing heels. When he sat down, he looked tall, but not THAT tall. (6'10" altogether).

Yes, that's what the trainer meant. The trainee, when seated in the training room, looked short, especially in comparison to the long-torso'ed, tall person sitting next to her who towered over her when they were both seated. But when the trainee was standing in the hall, her long legs put her at a height that surprised the trainer, and those words above were the first words out of his mouth. And those words were said just as I was rounding the corner in the hallway, unaware of any context altogether.

Oh, yeah, we've all been burned on context.

Today -
Voice mail message left on our main number: "Did anyone find a briefcase with lottery tickets in it? It's the Monsignor's."

Instructor: "You're 1/2 an hour late coming back from lunch. What happened?"
Trainee: "I don't have a cell phone so I didn't know what time it was."

OK, today I am at home instead of at work, but still...
Me: "Honey, I think we can get rid of these portable electric fans now that we are in a place with central A/C. Maybe we should keep one, but we don't really need more than one, and if we did, they're cheap enough to buy a new one."
Hubby: "I think we should keep at least two, just in case the power goes out."

Heard at the dinner table last night. Family platter of lasagna nearly gone when:
"There's a noodle in my lasagna."
*Blink, blink*
"What?" (Surely I misheard this, right?)
"There's a noodle in my lasagna!" 
"There'd better be a noodle in your lasagna!"
"No, not a lasagna noodle, a noodle noodle!" (again)
"You mean a spaghetti noodle?"
"Yeah!"
Not the 9 year old. Not the 12 year old. The husband.

OK, technically not overheard, but you know those church bulletin jokes? My hometown church still sends me their bulletin and there's this guy who's been reading old church records and writing articles about what happened when. This month's article included the following fact:
"The Christian Education Committee will hold sex education classes for 4 Sunday evenings in February. They will be told what sex is and how to avoid it."
That explains the drop in membership numbers in the succeeding years...

Chief of Staff loudly announces to the office in general: "It is AMAZING how many things I scratched off my to-do list today!"
Boss, walking by and not even breaking stride or looking at her: "Did you do any of them?"
